Jill Quote #808

Quote from Jill in The Feminine Mistake

Jill: Well, here I am in this whole house full of men. And I'm just disgusted with myself because I've had absolutely no impact on any of them. Do you remember that time that I gave Tim Betty Friedan's book? You know, The Feminine Mystique?
Wilson: Mmm-hmm. I take it he didn't like it?
Jill: He loved it. He used it to level the legs of his workbench.
Wilson: [sighs] Oh, sister, sister, sister.
